Across Minds (ACROSS Series 1)

Chapter 2

"Teka nga. Anong gagawin ko jan, ha?" I asked as I crossed my arms after grabbing my calculator, leaving the coffee in his hand.

"Itong calcu, inumin mo. Tapos itong kape, ipang-solve mo." He seriously said. 

I almost slapped him with my calculator. But I tried to stop myself and smiled.

"Alam mo ikaw, namumuro ka na sa'kin, e." I pushed his shoulders a little. "Alam mo ba 'yung kaba ko nung nabasa 'yung assignment ko? Di ako natulog kagabi dahil d'on!" I tried to control my temper.

"Sizt, relax." He even bent his hand, trying to act as if he is gay. "Kaya nga binilhan kita ng kape, e. Pambawi."

He tried to reach out the coffee to me again, but I ignored it. Malay ko ba kung may gayuma pala 'yon. I was still clinging to my conclusion that the coffee that he spilled at me earlier had some kind of a potion.

"Teka nga. Paano mo nalaman na nasa library ako?" Naningkit ang mga mata ko. "Stalker ka, 'no? Siguro crush mo ako tapos lagi mo akong sinusundan. Tapos sinadya mo na mabangga ako kanina?" I told him.

He looked at me weirdly as if I grew a third eye. I saw him trying to suppress a laugh. He pushed his tongue on the inside of his cheeks.

"Lakas mo naman masyado. Hinanap lang kita crush na agad? Nakita ko lang kasi 'yung section sa calculator mo. Sakto naman may kakilala 'yung tropa ko na kaklase mo kaya nahanap kita. Ako na nga nagmadandang loob na ibalik 'yan. Feel-Am, ampota." I glared at him and he just smiled at me like an idiot.

"Saka ba't ko isasadyang itapon sa'yo 'yung kape ko? Alam mo ba kung ga'no kamahal 'yan?" He asked me.

"Pure Filipina ako." I sneered. 

"Luh, feelingerang ambisyosa kasi 'yon friend." He laughed hard. I chose to ignore him because I was already so tempted to throw his coffee in his face. Kaso sayang sa kape.

"Sa McDonalds ka lang bumili. Wag mo nga akong konsensyahin." I said before starting to walk away from him.

I texted Tiffany to ask her where they are. She replied immediately and told me that they were sitting on Lover's. Because I was looking at my phone, hindi ko na-notice na nakaharang na pala 'yung lalaki sa harap ko. I bumped in his chest so I automatically held my forehead. Masakit 'yon, ah!

"My gosh!" I exclaimed. "Ano na naman ba? Hobby mo ba talaga ang humarang harang sa daanan?" I hissed at him while still massaging my head.

"Di mo sure." He laughed and handed me the cup. Again. "Here okay, I'm sorry. I should have apologized when I bumped into you earlier."

I looked at the cup of coffee before looking at him. He scratched the back of his head lightly, parang nahihiya. Cute. Wait, cute? Did I just thought of that? Sa'n galing 'yon? What I mean is he looks annoying. Yes, annoying.

"As my way of apologizing, just get this coffee, okay? Tunaw na 'yung yelo niyan. Di na masarap." He said politely.
